Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I highly endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Peters on a number of cases and he is extraordinarily gifted and talented as an attorney. His legal knowlege and instincts are the best I have ever seen. He is also wonderfully compassionate with clients. He communicates with them promptly and always has time to thoroughly and patiently answer their questions. He truly is a "Super Lawyer.""
Medical malpractice Attorney | Apr 11
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a member in good standing of the state of Michigan Bar. I have known Mr. Peters on a professional basis for more than thirty years. Over the years, I have called upon him to handle scores of tort cases on behalf of my clients as well as for members of my own family. Mr. Peters is known throughout the legal community as a pre-eminent medical malpractice litigator, representing chiefly injured parties and in some tragic cases, their survivors. He has authored many medical/legal treatises and dozens of articles on a wide range of legal issues. He has obtained many seven-figure verdicts and settlements for his clients and has also handled class actions involving defective medical devices. I can state without hesitation that Douglas Peters is one of the very best tort lawyers in the midwest."
